After five weeks, it appears clear the team is comfortable using a rotation of players at linebacker and at safety. That could change, but it appears more likely it will continue on at this point.

Safety Vonn Bell ended up claiming a larger role against Washington after cornerback Marshon Lattimore suffered a concussion, but he would have outpaced Kurt Coleman either way. Bell has settled in as the team's nickel safety, while Coleman serves in base packages.

Defensive end Marcus Davenport also played the most snaps (35) he's played in any game this season. And the rookie earned it. He stood out from start to finish and made several impactful plays on the NFL's biggest stage.

Re: Snap counts: Marcus Davenport plays a season high against Washington

"Disruption equals production " - JJ Watt.

More opportunities will eventually come for Davenport. Power, long arms, freakish range ... easy to see why Coach Nielsen was so high on him leading up to the draft. Saints are bringing him along just as Philly did with Barnett last season.
